Black Lightning Versus Tobias Whale

At the center of BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6 is the conflict of Black Lightning and Tobias Whale. What I love most about their relationship is how perfectly they contradict each other. It’s interesting to read about characters that are so different from one another.

Black Lightning is a symbol of honor and justice. In both sides of his life, he’s a force for change in his community, like with his students and law enforcement. On the other hand, there’s Whale, who’s brutal and malicious. He wants to light a flame of corruption and watch the world burn. With this clash of morality between the two characters, there’s an added level of depth to the overall plot of BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6.

Guest Appearance From The Justice League!?

I told you this comic was full of surprises. A couple of familiar Leaguers stop by in BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS #6. Cyborg and the Flash lend the Cleveland Police a hand in disarming the high tech weapons distributed by Whale. So in this issue, Black Lightning has friends in high places, which is cool.

Also, this reminds the reader of Black Lightning’s connection to the Justice League. Trust me, there are more plot twists in this issue where that came from. Tony Isabella’s story will keep you guessing until the very last page.
